horsing - Le Bocage Normand

Do not miss along the way...
Informations along the way...
Further away from the Bessin
area you can start your journey
in the Bocage Normand by
taking a break at the La Cordière
equestrian farm. With both
wider bridleways for gallops
and smaller bridleways for
taking a slower pace there is
enough variety for you to ride
at your own desired speed.
